The "Womenomics Nordic Business Conference" and a meeting with UN Women.

May 18

In 2017, Crown Princess Mary received "The Womenomics Awards" for her with to help girls and women both in Denmark and abroad (here). Five years later, she was the one presenting this years Womenomics Award. They were given to four women: actress Trine Dyrholm, the tech entrepreneurs Christine Herbert and Nima Tisdall and CEO Caroline Farberger.

So, what is "The Womenomics Awards" and how do you achieve to get one? The Womenomics Awards honor important rolemodels, which in their own way have made an extraordinary contribution in the field of diversity and equality. Both professionally and personally.

The award show took place in Copenhagen and was part of the Womenomics Nordic Business Conference. Numerous diversity experts and politicians also participated the conference. They discussed latest statistics, trends and solutions in the field of diversity and gender equality. Crown Princess Mary also participated these panel debats.

Later that afternoon, the Crown Princess hosted a meeting with Sima Bahous. She is the CEO of UN Women. Sima Bahous informed the Crown Princess how UN Women work to fulfill the fifth goal of UN's Worldgoals. The fifth goal concerns equality. Director of UN Women Nordic Office Caroline Rusten also attended the meeting along with planning and coordination specialist at UN Women Executive Office Sarah Brun.

Mary had two very important events to attend on May 18th. First the presentation of the Womenomics Awards at the Womenomics Nordic Business Conference and later she had a meeting with Sima Bahous from Un Women. Mary had chosen to wear a brand new dress for both events. I learned that the dress is from ba&sh from UFO No More. Nor sure, I am crazy in love with the dress, but she wears it beautifully.

She embraced the style of her new dress with plenty of incredible jewellery. First thing I noticed was her two new necklaces. Both of them are creations by Dulong Fine Jewelry. Mary's stylist and close friend Anja Camilla Alajdi has worn the exact same combo - just with her own initial (here). Maybe Mary got inspired? She also wore a pair of earrings and a ring from Dulong Fine Jewelry. The stunning golden bracelet is from Cartier. So is the watch.

I always admired how Mary makes nude accessories look this splendid. The matching Chanel handbag and pointed Gianvito Rossi pumps makes an outstanding addition to the rest of the outfit.

CoC Playful Mind's 10th anniversary

16 May

Crown Princess Mary visited Billund this afternoon to attend CoC Playful Mind's 10th anniversary.

"CoC" stands for Capital of Children. The project is working to fulfill a vision within Billund. CoC Playful Minds work to make Billund the children's capital by different initiatives, collaborations, activities and projects.

When arriving to Billund, the Crown Princess was warmly welcomed with smiles,  flowers and happy faces. Usually, the guest of honor is welcomed by a host. This time was a bit different because for CoC Playful Minds children are the core, which is also why the children acted as hosts for the day. I love that idea.

This was truly the outfit I need to be inspired! Lately, I have been lacking of inspiration for what to wear. Everything is the same: plain colours and always black tights. But this outfit of Marys really did the thing for me. Dosen't she look absolutely gorgeous? Love how she styled her brand new olive-green midi skirt from By Malene Birger with that new green blazer from Ralph Lauren. I learned about Mary's new blazer at UFO No More. She paired it with a super simple white t-shirt. Looks all well-balanced. Colours and fabrics are a stunning combo.

Her accessories are also incredibly beautiful. Because the rest of her outfit is this simple and calm, I love that her accessories are a bit more "exclusive". Both the golden earrings, a couple of the bracelets and that rather large diamond ring are creations by Dulong Fine Jewelry with Marianne Dulong as the main designer. We also get a glimpse of her beloved Cartier bangle. The necklace with its pendants are also magnificent. They are all from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen.

Mary completed her outfit with great heels from Chloé. They look so comfortable and makes the outfit relaxed, but absolutely not boring at all. Would you copy this look of hers?

Annual presidum meeting with the Mary Foundation

12 May

Each year, the Mary Foundation's presidum meet up to make a status of the past year. It was time for the annual meeting, which took place at Amalienborg. This is the Mary Foundation's way of informing their partners and collaborators about their work. What they have achieved, what's in progress and what still needs to be taken care of.

Representatives from both Tuborgfondet, Egmont Fonden, Ole Kirk's Fond, TrygFonden, William Demant Fonden, Det Obelske Familiefond, Remmen Fonden, Oak Foundation, Østifterne and Hempel Fonden were all gathered at the meeting.

Michelle Kolls from the family outpatient clinic at Hvidovre Hospital also attended the presidum meeting at Amalienborg. She talked about the results of the project "Good start to family life - Together Without Violence". Both the Mary Foundation and Amager and Hvidovre Hospital are part of the project. CEO of the Mary Foundation Helle Østergaard also shared a few words at the meeting.



Mary looked really lovely at the presidum meeting with the Mary Foundation and their collaborating partners. We fairly get a glimpse of what she was wearing, but in my mind there is no doubt that Mary wore a reused power pink Hugo Boss blouse. She matched it was an old long black ZARA blazer. This combo makes me guess that Mary embraced the style with plain black trousers and pumps. 

She has worn the blouse and blazer before. One time at a LOKK conference in 2019 (here) and at the presentation of the UNFPA's Sate of World Population Report 2019 (here).

The stunning pink Dulong Fine Jewelry earrings were a wonderful addition to the rest of her outfit. Very chic and elegant. Almost delicate. Like a piece of candy. They have been in her jewellery box for many years now, but a design like this never really goes out of style.

Visiting the Crown Princes Mary Center

10 May

A couple of days before Crown Princess Mary turned 50, on February 2nd, the "Crown Princess Mary Center - solving problems through research and partnerships" was inaugurated at the University of Copenhagen.

The Crown Princess Mary Center is a knowledge center for applied and interdisciplinary research in the humanities and social sciences. The center gathers a community of the research environments and societal actors. Together these actors develop and disseminate new knowledge and participate in networking activities.

On May 10th, the Crown Princess paid a visit to the center at the University of Copenhagen. Here she met with several scientists who shared their work with her. She was also informed about the centers others work to find new solutions to current societal challenges with the individual being at the center.



At the little gathering at the University of Copenhagen, when Mary met with several scientist who are part of the "Crown Princess Mary Center - solving problems through research and partnerships", Mary was wearing what looks like a simple black blouse. We only got one single photo from the meeting and that is already problematic. But this one is also in a bad quality and show only very little of her outfit. From what we see, I cannot identify if it is a blouse or a dress. Somehow, I think it looks like Mary was wearing a smaller scarf at the meeting? Do you recognize anything about this outfit?
